Embodiment Construction

[0019]Embodiments of the methods and systems described herein enable a service provider company associated with a service provider computer system, which includes service applications stored therein, to offer premium access to the service applications for use by developers of computer software applications. The developers access the service applications stored within the service provider (SP) computer system through a developer portal and an application programming interface (API) platform. The service applications are stored within service owner (SO) computer devices, which are included with the SP computer system.

[0020]The developers use data from the service applications in response to executing a developer application. A developer uses a developer computer system to send a request for premium access to a selected service application stored within the SP computer system by accessing the developer portal, and the API platform receives and forwards the developer request for premium...

Abstract

A method and system for granting premium access to a service application stored within a service provider (SP) computer system through an open API platform is provided. The method includes receiving a request for premium access to the service application from a developer of a developer application wherein the developer application is configured to request data from the service application, assigning a production key to the developer application, sending an electronic message to a service owner (SO) associated with the service application requesting premium access to the service application, granting premium access to the service application by the SO for the developer application, updating the production key at the open API platform to include premium access to the service application, and notifying the developer of the granting of the premium access to the service application for the developer application.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates generally to providing access to a computer system through an open application programming interface (API) and, more particularly, to network-based methods and systems for providing developers of software applications premium access to a service provider computer system through an open API architecture.[0002]There are service provider companies that provide a variety of services to numerous consumers. These service provider companies utilize computer systems to provide these services. For example, in the financial industry, companies such as large banks, interchange networks and payment networks provide certain financial services to consumers, companies and other banks Oftentimes, these service provider companies provide services that include receiving, processing and storing financial data in computer systems managed by the service provider companies.
